<span>The Leeward side of a mountain range is in fact in a rain shadow. A rain shadow is an area of elevation where little to no rain falls, due to precipitation being forced out of passing clouds on the windward side of the mountain. Precipitation condenses as clouds rise over the mountain, and in general it precipitates as it crests over the mountain, leaving no moisture for the leeward side. An example of this is the American west, just west of the Rockies, where little to no rain falls.</span>

The given statement is True.

The rain shadow can be defined as a dry area which is found on the leeward side of the mountain area. The presence of these mountains acts as blockage in the passage of rain causing weather and forms a shadow of dryness on the other side of the mountain. The land on leeward side of a mountain range is drier on the lee and wetter on the prevailing windward.

Compare and contrast the evidence that supports the two hypotheses describing how long, complex molecules that carry information
Rudiy27

Oparin and Haldane's theory and Miller's experiment are the proof that long complex molecules that carry information such as DNA, might have formed on early earth.

Explanation:

Oparin and Haldane Hypothesis states that life on Early earth could have evolved by chemical evolution.

Oparin and Haldane said that the reducing atmosphere of the early earth caused simple inorganic molecules to react by using sunlight and formed molecules like amino acids and nucleotides.

These monomers combined to form polymers, they would have attained self-replicating tendency eventually these would have assembled into structures and these macromolecules had also made membrane-bound organelle.

Although this hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of it which talks about formation of molecules is accepted.

Millers and Urey in their experiment created an artificial reducing environment like that of early earth. They used a heated pool of water, atmospheric gases like H2O,CH4,N2, NH4 and sparks of electricity. After running the experiment for some days they found that amino acids, sugars, lipids and other organic molecules had formed.

Their hypothesis is not fully accepted but part of is evident that organic building block is formed from inorganic constituent on the earth.

What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle?
Liono4ka [1.6K]
During cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere during the formation of acetyl coenzyme A<span>. This step involves the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid, the result of which is carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is uptaken by plants and used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose.</span>

Answer:

make me brainliest pls :)

Explanation:

Insulin suppresses hepatic glucose output and adipose tissue lipolysis, lowering blood glucose and fatty acid levels. It also increases hepatic lipid synthesis for subsequent storage in adipose tissue and stimulates glucose uptake into fat and muscle.

When the temperature of the outside air exceeds their internal body temperature, jackrabbits living in hot, arid lands will when
rjkz [21]
The answer is: 'constrict the blood vessels in their large ears to reduce transfer of external heat to the blood in their ears.' This is an example of thermoregulation. Thermoregulation is the ability of the<span> </span>body to keep body temperature<span> within certain boundaries, even when the temperature of the surrounding environment is very different. The regulation of temperature by thermoregulating organisms is one aspect of </span>homeostasis. By using heat exchange systems, such as employed in this example, the animal will need to expend less energy on behavioural adaptations to maintain a constant body temperature.
